	Jeera Powder Athiya, if you want to make the aanam more spicy - add more red chili powder OR add some fresh green chilies.As for the jeera powder - you can def. try adding some though it will change the flavor of this gravy.If you want to thicken the gravy, add a bit more coriander powder and some ground cashew nuts.Hope this helped.
